Summary:
Tip #1 Meditate: This one is one of the most important self-care habits around. Meditation is incredibly beneficial in helping to calm the mind and increase clarity and confidence. Meditation also helps you effectively manage your emotions and is linked to combating depression and anxiety. If you meditate consistently, when bad days come along you will be much better equipped to deal with them.


Tip #2 Go For a Walk: Walks can be amazing especially if you are having a bad day. Take a walk to clear your head or even go for a run. You would be surprised at how just a change in scenery can help turn your day around. Go for a walk in the park if you live in a vibrant city like Vancouver, Canada or New York City. Go ahead, take a stroll down the city streets, (after you’re done watching this video of course)!

Tip #3 Journal: Journaling is a very healthy activity that anyone could benefit from. Journaling can help you clear your head, help you make important patterns between thoughts and feelings and a great way to keep track of your goals. Writing can be a wonderful outlet and stress reliever on a bad day.

Tip #4 Clean Out Your social media: Social media is as entertaining as it is draining sometimes.If you are having a bad day cleaning your social media feeds could be a great way to guard you against toxic content. Try Following more inspirational people on social media. Their feeds are usually more positive which could be a great boost of positivity on a bad day. Let’s face it we could use more positivity in the world these days.

Tip #5 Take a Bubble Bath: Complete this with a glass of red wine, some relaxing music and you got yourself the ultimate destresser. Consider purchasing a bath caddy which conveniently stretches over your tub while holding your wine, your favourite book, and maybe even a bowl of chocolate covered strawberries. Delish! The ultimate indulgence.

Tip #6 Have a Solo Dance Party: Sometimes it takes something random to give you the boost you need to break through your bad day. Just turn on your favourite dance track and dance! This could be a healthy activity for your overall well-being giving you that healthy rush of endorphins you need on a bad day. So, close the door, put on your jammies, turn the music up and start dancing the night away!

Tip #7 Watch Funny Videos: Bad days don’t stand a chance with this one. There are tons of funny videos on YouTube and Instagram that will keep you laughing for hours so no matter how your day is going you shouldn’t have a problem finding one that makes you chuckle. There has also been a ton of research on the link between laughing and mental health. Even after laughing for just a few minutes could make you feel better for hours.

Tip #8 Paint Outside: Painting can be a very relaxing activity. Especially if it’s nice weather painting outside can be quite exhilarating. One suggestion is to purchase an easel, set it up on your porch, and maybe even turn on some nice music while you paint.

Tip #9 Avoid Alcohol: A lot of times when we have bad days the first thing on the agenda is alcohol. We want to head straight home and tackle that bottle of wine. You don’t want alcohol to become your go-to when you have bad days as this gives birth to a very unhealthy habit that could be hard to break.

Tip #10 Do a Legs up Yoga Pose: Yes, this actually has great health benefits and is a very common yoga practice. Because your heart doesn’t have to pump as hard in this position, it is said to give your heart more rest and slows down your heart rate.
